Nicole turned back to look at Luke and sized him up seriously for a few seconds. She smiled.
"Fine, since you're so decisive, I'll compromise. 49% is the least I'll take."
Seeing Luke's dissatisfied expression, Nicole said in a calm voice, "Mr. Youngblood, you should know that nowadays, although there are many entrepreneurial platforms and entrepreneurs, no company that just emerged has been acquired for $200 million. I didn't ask for much, and you want a lot. Don't you think that your company will only go further by standing on the shoulders of the Stanton Corporation?"
The acquisition of Z Technologies was said to be a win -win situation, but it was still a loss for Stanton Corporation.
Thus, even if Luke was dissatisfied, Nicole could only compromise so much.
She had already offered him whatever she could.
If Luke continued to argue, Nicole might as well give u p the acquisition and go back to prepare for the lawsuit.
Luke froze for a moment and nodded his head.
"Okay, but I have to meet with my partners to discuss i t first."
Nicole smiled. "Sure, I'll wait for your answer. You can contact my assistant directly once you’ve decided."
After that, she opened the door and walked out.
The people outside who were in a lively discussion suddenly lost their voices.
Everyone had not had time to return to their seats. They looked at Nicole in shock.
Nicole smiled and nodded, then left with Logan.
"OMG! That's really Nicole, my goddess! She just smiled at me!" 1
"Nonsense, she was smiling at ME!”
"She’s so beautiful! She's even more gorgeous than those photos online. Her face is truly flawless..."
"Yeah! How does she maintain her skin? She looks as young as a teenage student!”
"Goddess Nicole actually came to talk in person! If I’d known earlier, I would've gone in to serve them coffee. This is such a good opportunity for me to approach The Goddess!"
Luke originally thought that he held a big advantage and wanted to fight for more benefits for himself and the company.
However, it seemed like it would not work anymore.
No one in the company besides Luke knew how to manage a business. Although the others had excellent abilities, they were merely technical people.
Regarding the future direction of the company, they did not have any useful opinions.
However, out of respect for his peers, Luke still had to hold a meeting to listen to their opinions.
It did not take long for Luke's office to be filled with people.
Everyone was looking at Luke anxiously as if they could not wait to know about the news, yet they were worried about failure. Luke let out a bitter laugh.
The company that he had poured his heart and soul into did not look like it could go very far without Nicole.
Then, he should not be too greedy and take what he could get.
